I just wanted to let everyone at Strategy Dynamics know that I love receiving these e-mails. As a
Graduate student pursuing my M.S. Leadership, I find Strategy Dynamics very helpful; as the Ken
Blanchard College of Business at Grand Canyon University expects MSL students to thoroughly
understand strategy.

Worksheet 1 is the first stage of a strategy dynamics analysis. It captures information on
how an organization, or a part of one, has been performing over recent periods on some key
performance measure, and how management wishes to see performance on that measure develop
into the future. One or more supporting objectives may also be captured.

The second stage of a strategy dynamics analysis, worksheet 2 captures the factors explaining an organization's
performance on some measure - performance for which it has an improvement objective. The objective may relate to
- the organization as a whole, e.g. Profit ,
- some specific issue, such as Service Quality.
The Worksheet helps you lay out, quantitatively, the chain of causal factors that drive performance on this main objective. |
